Can you pour 192 degree water into it to brew tea without damage?

I don`t know. But I never mix too hoot liquids into plastic material. Anyone. It`s not advisable by the risk of extract organic components out of it, even very small quantities, but that are normally carcinogeneous. The use of plastic cups are dangerous enough.

I have a Breville tea maker that I use to brew my tea (various settings let me go up to 212 for black tea), BUT after brewing I immediately pour the hot tea into the pitcher to cool and haven't had a problem doing so. (I love the pitcher because it holds almost 2 full brews from the Breville so I'm set for all day drinking.)

You may be able to as the plastic seems durable, however I don't believe this item is the best choice for continually putting hot water in.

Sorry, I use it for lemonade and kool aid. I checked the papers that came with it and I didn't see anything except that it was only top-rack dishwasher safe, so I would assume it isn't heat proof.

I only use this for cold brew tea and coffee. For anything hot, I would be more comfortable using glass or ceramic container/carafe, unless the manufacturer would attest to its safety up to certain temperature.

I have not tried it but it is not recommended by the manufacturer. I just boil water in a tea kettle and pour it over! Very easy and I'm very pleased with my purchase.

It certainly can. I always make tea in mine and it's usually scorching. I leave it out of 45 min or so before putting it in the fridge. Haven't had any problems so far:)

No, you need to boil the water on the stove, let it cool for 4 minutes and then pour it into the tea maker.

No, this is meant to brew and serve tea, but not to heat water. I use a separate electric kettle for boiling water.

No. My pitcher was room temp and I poured boiling water in it for tea and the whole bottom cracked. Another one bites the dust.

I'd strongly recommend you not put anything but clean, fresh, cold water into this appliance. It's a kettle, intended for heating or boiling water; not a tea pot, in which you brew tea.

I didn't try but I think you couldn't. You can just pour in it boiled tea (as I use it and then pour tea into small cups for example when I meeting guests) or just put some tea leaves in it and pour boiling water.

I don't think you can. I used it to brew kombucha. If you would put it into boiling water it may crack. I'm sorry that I'm not sure

I haven't put really hot liquid in it. I usually want to drink it relatively soon. BTW, you shouldn't use very hot water to brew tea as the heat can kill off the nutrients in tea.

No, it will not boil water. You could make tea/instant whatever with it as it gets plenty hot, but not boiling.

Agree! Would be nice if they could allow users to increase the brew temp beyond the current 192 degree max. Since my brewer is next to my microwave, I just brew a cup then hit it for 20 seconds in the microwave. Wouldn't have to do that if I could increase the brew temp 10 degrees or so...

I wouldn't. Its just as easy to brew your tea in a separate 5 gal bucket, then water down the tea to the extent you want. any pumps would likely get clogged IMO

To make good, proper, hot tea, you need boiling water. This brewer does not get that hot. I don't know what the actual temp is, but it's definitely not boiling. You can make tea, of course, at lower temperatures, but it's not nearly as good. Hope this helps.

Yes, it's fine for all types of loose tea. You can pour boiling water directly into the teapot.
2242287
Yes. Definitely. And if you're talking about brewing. You're going to be starting around 140-160F from your sparge. It should take about 30 mins to get up to 212F. This is as long as you have 220-240V/30amp power supply.

Yes, you can. It does get a little warm though as it is stainless steel so you would need to be careful of the type of surface that you place it on. Otherwise, this is a great infuser; my all time favorite.
